"Daisy, Daisy...
...give me your answer do..."*
To the question; "When are you going to be finished?" maybe?
I am still enjoying the stitching, even if it is taking and age. I am trying to keep the stitches uniform but I have deliberately made them smaller as I changed colour.
It is hard to keep small stitches small, don't you find? Or is that just me?
Here is what it looked like before I began stitching.
Linking up with Off The Wall Friday.

It has natural beauty just like a daisy. I think we each have a natural 'default' size we hand stitch at and when we stitch larger or smaller we start to creep back up or down to our default size. Esp when we get tired. That's my theory anyway.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic Deborah - I look forward to the completed photo in due course
ReplyDeleteLove the dense seed stitching! I can imagine it is quite time consuming, but also very relaxing. Looking forward to follow the progress!
ReplyDelete...I'm half crazy, over the love of you..."
ReplyDelete:)
You know what else I love? Your stitching! :)
She's such a pretty piece!
So glad you didn't finish this while I was away from my Reader! Looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteP.S.- love the way you've pieced your background...
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love this! So worth every stitch.
ReplyDeleteohhh I'm so glad you gave some up close of this piece. I'm wondering. . . . when you do all that stitching on the daisy's what stabilizer are you using? I've used some that I'm still getting buckles with !the stitching is really inspirational!
ReplyDeleteWow! Love how the seed stitching adds such beautiful texture to your quilt!
ReplyDeleteLove your stitching and yes, I find it hard to keep the stitches small:) It seems I must get into a hurry to get done or something and before I know it they have increased in time.
ReplyDeleteThey add so much texture though!!
What a happy piece! I love the hand stitching, it really gives a lovely texture to your piece.
ReplyDeleteWOW!all the quilting is making this quilt fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love the shades in your fabrics and the stitching. I have tried the seed type stitching and mine looks a mess, yours looks natural and blends in beautifully with the design.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
I love seed stitching must admit.
ReplyDeleteIts a freeform kantha so whats not to like lol
But your freeform patch worked daisies, doubly make the stitches zing.
I love the seed stitching and the texture it adds! Have been doing lots of beading and stitches myself the past two weeks, as we traveled. Next week, I will share. Love yours!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous Deborah! I love all the seed stitching. Are all of those stitches part of the quilting or are they a surface design? Either way it is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL work! But now I have that tune stuck in my head.
ReplyDeleteI think your daisy looks great :-)
ReplyDeleteOh this is sooo beautiful ! (and yes, I can only imagine how long it takes you to do all the handstitching ... but it IS worth the effort!)
